OBS

[Chez le «type de crâne» reptilien appelé synapside] la fenêtre unique a pour bord inférieur le jugal et le squameux, et pour marge supérieure le postorbitaire et le squameux [...] Un bon exemple en est le crâne de «Dimetrodon» [...] [Il] peut être considéré comme la structure synapside la plus caractéristique, mais la forme et l'extension de la fenêtre ont montré beaucoup de variations dans ce groupe.
